[size=15pt]Bishop to CBN boss: Your job or Islamic banking[/size]

Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Kaduna State chapter, Bishop David Bakare, has advised Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to resign from office before advocating the introduction of Islamic banking in the country.

In a statement yesterday in Kaduna, Bishop Bakare said that Sanusi would be better off in the Islamic banking agenda if he (Sanusi) were a religious leader.

The fire-spitting cleric therefore, advised the CBN boss to choose between the idea of Islamic banking and his job at the nation’s apex bank, saying that advocating for a religious banking at this time of political crisis in the country could aggravate the tensed situation.

According to the statement, “Honestly, if Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had done this advocacy for Islamic banking as a religious leader, it would have made a better sense than as a government official. Therefore, Sanusi should come out and tell the nation whose errand he is running and for who he speaks; is it for himself, Islam, or government of Nigeria?

“The PFN, Kaduna State, strongly condemns the Central Bank governor’s Islamic banking agenda at a time like this in Nigeria when we are still battling to douse the tension created by the last ‘political’ crisis with all the evident religious manifestations.“This obviously is an insensitive and reckless act of the highest order coming from such a high ranking officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“No right thinking Nigerian would ordinarily venture into such a sensitive matter at any time in such a nation like Nigeria without an evil motive to create more tension in the nation or worse still to start another religious fighting such as had never been before in this nation.“Somebody, please, help tell Sanusi to let the sleeping dog lie, and not put the nation into another avoidable distraction and dangerous crisis. We call on President Goodluck Jonathan not to wait until trouble begins before acting,” Bishop Bakare said.

     Mr fanatic Bishop ,if you took the Islamic bank as service to a people that would ordinarily like the services.Then it will seem okay and the peoples right to such services.If the services are not illegal.Knowing you are a bigot and fanatic.I doubt if you may and can see such at this point.Some Nigerians find it okay.Get use to it.An example,you like Burkutu and i may not.Simply because you like and i don't ,the government will not outlaw it.Even when medically it is known to be harmful to consumers.Its your right to drink it and its not my biz.So i can simply walk away.choice and variety kalas !
     Why is it that people like your will not suggest yours but want Muslims to always join you unconditionally.As you suggest he should quite before doing this because he is public service,you should also know its not your place too Mr bishop.Are you working for the Government,politicians or what?

Sanusi, PFN disagree over Islamic banking

The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has said that those opposed to the introduction of Islamic banking in Nigeria are not conversant with current happenings in the world as the system is being practised in the United Kingdom and other countries of the world dominated by Christians.

He spoke on the BBC Hausa service monitored in Kaduna at the weekened, even as the Kaduna State chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) expressed concern over moves to introduce Islamic banking in the country.

The PFN while condemning the move said the action of the CBN governor at a time when Nigerians were still battling to douse the tension created by political and religious crises was unfortunate.

However, Sanusi explained that the move for the introduction of the JAIZ Bank in Nigeria had been on even before he assumed leadership in the CBN and disclosed that other superior officers in the CBN who were Christians had no problem with Islamic banking in Nigeria.

According to him, a major stakeholder in the JAIZ Bank was an Igbo businessman who saw the prospects and had since invested a lot towards the noble cause.

Nigerians, he said, should not be afraid of Islamic bank as it was going to be a non-interest banking which had been practised successfully in many parts of the world.

But the PFN in a statement by its chairman, Bishop David Bakare, said that the action of the CBN governor would further polarise the nation along religious lines as well as raise suspicions about his intention no matter how good it could be.

“Honestly if the CBN governor had embarked on this advocacy for Islamic banking as a religious leader it would have made a better sense than as a government official. Therefore, he should come out and tell the nation whose errand he is running and for whom he speaks. Is he speaking for himself, Islam, or for the government of Nigeria?

“ Sanusi should please be advised not put the nation into another avoidable distraction and dangerous crises. We call on the president not to wait until trouble begins before acting,” he said.

nigeria can operate interest free banking without calling it islamic. therefore they can lend money to any person and any business they like.
sanusi need to be sack. an igbo man is a major share holder in islamic banking in nigeria hahaha I deh laf, a very poor lodgic bcuz we reject islamic banking not bcuz of share holders but bcuz religous tenates in it. sanusi realy is empty and deserve not to be there.
soludo wanted to initiate interest free banking without religiouse attachment. but sanusi wanted religion so the goal is different. and since when did he start to accept soludos plans.

sanusi blv its time to enrich all almajiris on the street.
if my beer business is more profitable than your kunu business they will lend money to kunu seller not a beer seller. bcuz sharia says so.wat a father christmass and injustice.
sanusi is empty and amature to the seat he occupy. pls let him resign now wit honor or face sacking from the office.

it is super wrong that of all the banking problems Nigeria has, Sanusi is more focused on Islamic banking, Sanusi is being manipulated by both his own delusions and the dream of someone senior to him,

I share the man's sentiment. Sanusi needs to go.

I am still angry that we are part of the OIC!

Sanusi and his fellow Islamic fanatics are slowly islamizing the whole country right in front of our faces. Very tactful.

Why is everybody surprised at Sanusi at this time?
He doesn't have a graduate degree in some economic, banking, or finacially related speciality, his post-graduate degree is Islamic studies, so why are you guys surprised.
He probably never heard about many cutting edge and progressive economic theories, they don't teach those in Islamic studies in Sudan

Is Sanusi the best the North can offer? 

No Northerner with an graduate degree from an Ivy League university?

Or at least a regular American university?

^^^
Not just an American university, but a country that understands modern western economic principles. Where does Sudan fit into all these? Apart from muslim fanaticsm, I don't remember what else that country is associated with.

una president get American degree b4 he contested for presidency. with all the American and western Europe led IMF and World bank president and chiefs, look at the recession and meltdown in the euro zone

Are you guys serious Sanusi had no degree in banking or whatever has to do with the economy? Are you guys serious?

interesting

0lumide:

Are you guys serious Sanusi had no degree in banking or whatever has to do with the economy? Are you guys serious?

Look up his profile: B.Sc economics from ABU, and then master from University of Khartoum in Islamic studies.
Most of all, he's from the Kano royal family, and that entitles him to any job he wants in Nigeria

Imagine this nitwit.So because he is from a royal home entitles him to any job in Nigeria?This is the most silly comment i have read on NL

Saddened by the level of bigotry in this country.

Sanusi this,Sanusi that,was this not approved by Charles Soludo? Plus is the problem Non-interest banking or Non-interest Islamic banking?
I think the real issue should be regulation of this practice and how it could effectively impact customers. Bishop has no business in this at all.
I also blame the CBN for their choice of words. They should have left it at Non-Interest Banking shikena!
